John Osborne’s Dog Travels to Brother TJ’s House Miles Away After Being Spooked by Fireworks

John Osborne of Brothers Osborne and his wife Lucie Silvas had quite a scare when their dog, Barley, became spooked by New Year's Eve fireworks and took off from their home while the two were out of the country.

However, the clever dog found a way to safety in a manner that even the most experienced dog-owner would marvel at.

According to a post by John, the goldendoodle traveled 5 miles from their home in East Nashville to his brother T.J.'s house. Needless to say, that's a long way to trot. How she knew to go there? Nobody knows. "Unbelievable," as John himself says.

Once arrived at her destination, the dog apparently "barked outside to make herself known," Silvas explains in her own Instagram post describing the harrowing experience.

At any rate, the pup is now in safe hands—and seems to have had quite the caravan of friends looking out for her, as Silvas notes some "broke up their New Years celebrations to look for her."

Silvas and Osborne married in 2015 in a spontaneous ceremony, which didn't have all their friends and family present, but did have the dog overseeing the proceedings.
